THE SYSTEM OF FOREIGN DEBT INDICATORS
Article 5.- Group of indicators of national foreign debts
This group consists of major indicators assessed and supervised according to the debt safety threshold and support indicators not assessed and supervised according to the debt safety threshold but used in service of the analysis and assessment of the national foreign debt status.
...
...
...
a/ Present value of foreign debts against GDP (PV FD/GDP);
This indicator reflects a nation's foreign debt level compared with its resources and is calculated at the year-end.
b/ Present value of foreign debts against export value of goods and services (PV FD/EX):
This indicator reflects the sustainability of foreign debts shown in a nation's capability to make present and future payment of foreign debts with its export revenues without resorting to debt relief or rescheduling.
c/ Present value of foreign debts against gross revenues (PV FD/GR):
This indicator reflects the capability to pay foreign debts at present and in the future with the Government's budget sources. This indicator is particularly important on the condition that revenues from the export of goods and services are limited.
d/ Debt service against export value of goods and services (DS/EX):
This indicator reflects the ratio of revenues from national exports which must be set aside for payment of foreign debts.
e/ Debt service against gross revenues (DS/GR):
...
...
...
f/ The state foreign reserves against total short-term foreign debts (FR/STD):
This indicator reflects the capability of the state foreign exchange reserves to be used for payment of short-term foreign debts. This is an important indicator on the condition that the nation is unable to access or has a limited access to the international capital market.
2. Support indicators not assessed or supervised according to the debt safety threshold but used in service of the analysis and assessment of the debt status:
a/ Total foreign debts, structure of foreign debts under the following principal conditions: foreign debts classified according to groups of creditors, borrowing conditions (preferential or non-preferential), currencies of loans, terms of loans (short and medium-long terms), overdue debts (if any) and borrowed and repaid amounts in a year. These indicators show the present national debt status and serve the assessment of the list of foreign debts at a given time;
b/ Average interest rate of foreign loans means the loan interest rate calculated on the basis of the weighted average interest rate of loans with different borrowing conditions, and shown by figures announced by the Finance Ministry. This is a useful index for comparison with the nation's export growth rate or GDP growth rate;
c/ Average term of foreign loans means the loan term calculated on the basis of weighted average term of loans with different terms. This is a useful index, especially for loans other than government loans, for overseeing loans that are about mature or reckoning the necessity of measures to restructure debts (debt rescheduling) in order to limit risks for the economy.
Article 6.- Group of indicators of the government's and the public sector's foreign debts
1. Foreign loans for offsetting state budget deficits
This indicator reflects the capability to mobilize sources of foreign loans to offset annual state budget deficit of a nation, especially a developing nation, when investments need to be promoted while savings for investment are limited. This indicator is calculated in percentage (%) to GDP.
...
...
...
This indicator reflects the foreign debt level of the public sector compared with national resources, and is calculated at the year-end.
3. Debt service for government debts against gross revenues
This indicator reflects the Government's capability to pay its existing liabilities (including domestic liabilities).
4. Debt service for government foreign debts against gross revenues (DSExt/GR)
This indicator reflects the Government's capability to pay its foreign debts.
5. Reserve liabilities against gross revenues
A reserve liability means a balance at each given point of time of all principals, interests and fees payable for government-sublent loans and government-guaranteed loans. This indicator presents insurmountable risks incurred to sub-borrowing partners and guaranteed partners and may be borne by the state budget in performing obligations toward foreign lenders. The calculation of this indicator covers not only the consideration of the nominal value of reserve liabilities but also the assessment of these liabilities' risk level. The higher this level the greater risk of sub-loans and guarantees.
Article 7.- Group of indicators of enterprises' foreign debts
The group of indicators of enterprises' foreign debts consists of the following indicators:
...
...
...
2. Due debts in a period/total foreign debts of enterprises.
3. Period-end balance of overdue debts/total foreign debts of enterprises.
